    Why Can't I Find Any Red Tails For Sale?!

    I've looked all over google and on breeders websites. There are barely any for sale and the ones that are for sale are waaayyyyy out of my price range. Is it not breeding season or something?

    Re: Why Can't I Find Any Red Tails For Sale?!

    I remember reading something a while back on boa breeding seasons. If I remember correctly, it runs from about October-February, and once the female becomes gravid, it is about a 4-5 month process from then, which is why most boas give birth in the mid-late summer. If I can find where I read that, I'll post the link.

    I found it. Here is the link where I read it...

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Why Can't I Find Any Red Tails For Sale?!

    I've also noticed that Red Tails are hard to find period it seems like. I'm not sure if this is due to lack of market for them since everyone seems to be going after morphs and constrictors lately. My first choice was actually a Red Tail but like you the few I could find were out of my price range, and I found they were not as good of a beginer snake.

    One breeded did tell me that everyone, including pet stores, are short on supply right now because of the breeding season. They're waiting for the new eggs to hatch.

    You should let them know they'll be waiting a loooooong time for boa eggs to hatch...

    My boa eggs should be hatching soon.

    To the OP, just look on kingsnake.com. You will find what you are looking for on there.

    Just in-case you didn't know boas give birth to live young they do not lay eggs.
